"I just don't eat as much as you"
We had all just moved into the Cliffside house in Austin and dad tells me with a semi-disgusted face "I just don't eat as much as you". I asked him what he ate for lunch and he'd had a pizza, I think i had a soup. Go figure.
Break a leg
When Dad called to tell me he had a brain tumour, he told me "life is a drama and its my turn to get on stage". :( That and now he had an excuse to buy better Chardonnay.
On his creative side
We were sitting around one day talking about Joan's new business that needed a logo. We weren't overly impressed with the logos that were being designed for her so I wanted to come up with some ideas. We were discussing brainstorming words to inform the design, and Dad wanted me to do the scribing because as he said, "writing limits me"... and we wouldn't want to limit Pop.
Trash bags?
On the same ski trip as "bar to bar" and "its not fair", Pop was standing in the condo deep in thought and belches... we all look at him and he says "Oh sorry, I was thinking about trash bags".
You looked softer...
Dad running me over on the slopes and when we finally come to rest I yelled “Dad! Why did you run me over?!!”. Dad replied, I’m sorry son, but there was a fence, or a tree, or you…and you looked softer.”

I just don't do left turns...
Dad: I just don't do left turns.
Me: So you only turn right.
Dad: Well, I'm just not that into turning.
Me: So you just drive straight.
Dad: Yeah, basically.
This was before he started losing his mind too...just normal Pop
Bar to Bar!
Ski slopes with Lori. We would only ski one run to the next bar on the mountain. Then Lori got out her video cam and was interviewing Dad about "bar to bar" and he said "I don't want to talk about bar to bar." haha
Oh its ok, I forgive you...
Dad filming Lori and I on a bus going skiing. Guy walks in front of Dad and he says oh its alright, I forgive you. Guy looks at Dad and is like WTF? Dad says, you walked in front of my camera, but its cool, I forgave you. haha!
It's not FAIR!
This one was on a ski trip with the girls. We were being loud and having a slumber party. Dad comes out in his tightey whiteys...we of course start giggling. He says its not fair! People are trying to sleep...
Pop's Words
So I was thinking the other day that little snippets of Dad's wisdom always come to me at random times, then other times when I want to remember sayings I can't. I thought we could all come and write them down so later on we can remember and laugh at Dad's "pearls" (get it?!) of wisdom.
